Evaluating the manufacturing process to implement cost-effective improvements allows for a multitude of benefits. Accurately measuring the moisture, protein, and fat/oil content can have drastic effects on food manufacturing. Having an accurate reading to rely on throughout the food and baking process is one of the most critical components in the industry. MoistTech manufacturers are the diamond standard in food moisture meters, providing users with an accurate test of the moisture levels in the manufacturer’s raw ingredients, which effectively saves purchasing plants a lot of money. Multiple stages of the food process require moisture measurement and control as variations and excess moisture in mixes can result in clumping and out-of-spec recipe formulas. Testing food moisture during this time will allow adjustments to be made throughout the mixing process, thus improving the quality of the final product. While moisture is our major focus, we also supply analyzers for the continuous online measurement of protein, fat/oil, sugar, seasonings, caffeine, and other constituents/elements that absorb the NIR sensor beam.

Numerous years of experience provide MoistTech with thousands of installations worldwide in a wide variety of food products, from slurries to powders. Offering both online continuous readings and laboratory moisture sensors for spot tests near lines provides the user with full product inspection.

Realizing that many food processing companies use many primary reference measurements, either in-house or outsourced, MoistTech’s NIR sensors are easy to set up and use which will provide instant and precise measurements due to no constituent losses in handling. Instant measurements provide manufacturers with savings in analysis costs, delivery times, and shipping costs.

Our food moisture sensor calibrations, measurement wavelengths, algorithms, and sensor optical requirements are pre-set at the factory. On moisture analysis involving dried products, accuracy can be expected to be 0.1%. On higher moisture applications, accuracy can be expected to be 0.2 and 0.5%. Fat/oil measurement and protein accuracy are subject to application.

Installing Precise Control

Immediate ROI is seen with the installation of a moisture measurement system as the plant controllers can instantly make any process adjustments and can see the reduced waste and energy usage and an overall increase in quality and efficiency. Food moisture meters are recommended for installation:

  • exit of the ovens, fryers, dryers, etc.,

  • close to packaging so that it will allow the food time to stabilize while cooling

  • blender inputs and outputs

  • production lines

  • belt, screw, drag & enclosed conveyors

  • chutes, cyclones & bins

  • pipeline or pneumatic conveying
